Notes
Ranking metric is operated fleet capacity (TEU) from the Alphaliner public Top 100 (snapshot 2026-07-01) — the standard for "largest carriers"; note this is capacity, not throughput (which few carriers disclose). Subsidiaries stay consolidated under the operating parent (industry convention); the brands column lists the composition. MSC is #1 but privately held, so its revenue is n/d. No blank cells: undisclosed secondary values are n/d.
